GPT Sites

GPT sites are similar to PTC sites, with one major difference.  GPT sites are looking for your participation.  You get paid to look at sites AND complete questionnaires in those sites.  Payouts usually vary from as low as .10 all the way up to $40 per completed survey and/or offer completed.  The biggest advice I can give you is to almost ALWAYS avoid any site that will pay a large sum of money for completing an offer.  Why?  Simple.  First, you are almost assuredly going to be giving out credit card info (never do this).  Second, if they are paying you, for example $40 to complete an offer, you can be sure they will be making that and more back from you.  You will be signing up for some service that will cost you money.  This defeats the purpose of what you are doing.  So if it asks for your credit card info, move on as quickly as you can.

Second, like PTC sites, if you are not going to get referrals, this is not the deal for you.  No matter what any other place tells you, nobody is going to pay you big bucks per hour just to skim through a few ads.  If they did, everybody would be doing it!  So while you can make a little reviewing ads yourself, it is imperative you have others working under you and helping make money for you.  The following are some of the sites I have experience with.

CashCrate- Cash Crate is among the largest and well known GPT sites.  It is the one I use the most.  As with all GPT sites, it has its good and bad points.  First we will start with the good.

Customer service!  It could not be better.  If you have a problem they will assist immediately.  When they are in the wrong, they are even likely to give you a bonus for their mistake.  I got a $5 bonus after a check was lost.  Their forums are great, filled with helpful advice and their are plenty of admins there to offer ideas and suggestions to help you.
They give a $1 bonus for signing up and offer plenty of offers and surveys to keep you busy.  Once you reach $20, you can cashout and they offer higher payouts as your referrals increase.  You get paid on not only your referrals, but also your referrals referrals.

Now the bad.  The offers are maddening.  Most are difficult to complete and getting paid out on about 65% of your completed offers would be a good percentage.  Their are a varieties of reasons that offers do not pay, but often they don't.  The admins seem powerless to fix this situation and it makes it very hard to volunarily do offers wondering if you will be compensated.  I have resorted to relying almost strictly on referrals.  It seems to me it is easier to recruit and let others do the offers than to do it myself.

I would recommend Cash Crate, but only use it in conjunction with other sites, and ONLY if you plan to recruit.

PTC Sites

What is a PTC site?  These are sites that pay you to look at ads for other sites that are almost always trying to get you to join some other PTC site, or online money making scheme.  For example, you click on an advertisement, wait 10-45 seconds, and are credited with usually .03 to 2 cents each time.

These sites are mindless and require absolutely nothing but time.  Will you get rich?  No chance.  I don't care what anyone says, you aren't making a living off these sites.  If you but the tiniest bit of effort into it, you can usually make $1-5 a month.  If you PUT effort into it, you are looking at $10 a month and up.  Making money is all about getting referrals.  All these sites you see talking about various sites are that person's attmept to get referrals (mine too).  Very few people put up sites like these because they enjoy the topic!

So if you are creative enough to put out the effort to get referrals, go for it.  You might make a few extra dollars a month.  If you are too lazy, skip past these sites, because you are wasting your time.  Here are my reviews of a few sites I have experienced....


Neobux- I had a miserable experience with them.  I was chugging along reviewing my ads and getting referrals until I neared the minimum payout needed for withdrawal.  Once I did, I was unable to log into my account for a month.  No matter which computer or browser I used, it wouldn't load.  Miraculously, after 30 days I could get back in.  Once you fail to log in after thirty days, you lose all money accrued.

I posted something about this in their forum and my account was banned.  All in all, it was a complete waste of my time.  I give this site horrible marks and they should be ashamed for their deceitful methods.

GRADE:  F

Hits4Pay- This was the first PTC I ever did.  I was instantly successful at getting referrals and was satisfied with the ads coming in for me to view.  However, after I tried to cash out, I was unsuccessful at getting paid.  There was always a problem with my paypal or some other excuse.  I gave up for nearly 2 years. Then I decided to give it another try and was even successful at getting my old funds.  For that I was surprised and impressed.

However, after I decide to get going again, I got almost zero paid ads to read.  Not only do I not make anything from reading ads, but it is pointless for me to recruit since I won't be making a commission off them either.  Really it is not worth joining until they can improve the volume of paid ads to read.  You do get a very nice $10 bonus for joining, but you must wait until you accru $25 to withdraw it

GRADE: C-  (would be higher if there were more ads)

Clix Sense- Of the PTC sites I have used on a regular basis, this is my favorite.  It is very easy to use and user friendly.  Sites such as LinkGrand, PalmBux and others make you go though a lot of unnecessary steps and pay less.  I was paid immediately upon reaching my required minimum ($10) by check.  You can also be paid electronically.

The most aggravating thing about other similar sites is the pay.  Most give you around .03 per ad.  Giving you a few a day and you are basically waisting your time.  Clix Sense pays 1 or 2 cents per ad.  As a premium member you will get half a dozen or so ads per day.  Not a windfall, but definitely an improvement.

In order to make money at Clix Sense you need to do two things.  First, you need to be a premium member.  This makes recruiting worthwhile and also gives you a LOT more ads to view.  At $10, it is a great deal because they give you many hundreds of ads to view free just for joining.  Plus every day you will receive a few ads those on the basic plan do not get.

Second, you will get 10 cents per person who signs up under you once they read at least one ad.  This is a great way to make money if you can recruit.  The bottom line with ANY of these type of sites is recruiting.  Nobody is going to pay you any measurable amount of money for reading ads alone.  You need to recruit.  If you are not willing to do that, then it may not be worth your time.  But if you use Clix Sense and a few others combined, you can make some decent pocket change.  I average around $15 a month from Clix Sense.
